Fig. 4From: The genome of the water strider Gerris buenoi reveals expansions of gene repertoires associated with adaptations to life on the waterGenomic locus and global analysis of the Gerris buenoi opsin gene repertoire. a Structure of the scaffold containing the four G. buenoi long wavelength (LWS) opsins. b Retinal opsin repertoires of key hemipteran species and reconstructed opsin subfamily loss and expansion events along the hemipteran phylogeny. c Comparison of amino acid residues at the four tuning sites identified in the LWS opsins of Lepidoptera [68, 69]. Site numbers based on [68]. Numbers in parentheses are experimentally determined sensitivity maxima. Species abbreviations: Amel = Apis mellifera, Dmel = Drosophila melanogaster, Gbue = Gerris buenoi, Gbim = Gryllus bimaculatus, Larc = Limenitis archippus, Lart = Limenitis arthemis astyanaxBack to article page
